1/18/2009 chicago go-carting

me and a couple member went carting a while back and are going to go again.
where:melrose park grand prix
http://www.mpgrandprix.com/

when: 1/18 at 1pm.

cost: $45 for 3 sessions which last between 8-10 min (feels a lot longer). $10 each additional session after that.
if we get 10 or more ppl it will be $35 for each person instead of $45

if u have long pants and long sleeve shirts u dont need to wear a racing suit like other places make u, if u have your own helmet, great, if not they supply you with one. they put 10 or 11 carts on teh track at once.

with another group on teh track it take about 1.5-2hrs to go through the 3 sessions. its good to get a couple min breaks so you can rest.

so for its,
1. Rajca (tom)
2. Alperovich
3.
4.
5.
6.
7.
8.
9.
10.

The ClubLexus guys are planning something for the 24th @ Chicago Indoor Racing. Maybe we can crash their party and show them who's boss.

Or they could crash ours. Whatever.

chicago indoor racing is twice as expensive and the track is half the size. seen it my self and ppl that been to chicago indoor racing say that it cant be compared to melrose park gp.

WHOA... Just found out the GF is going to Dallas that weekend to visit her brother so assuming I am her taxi cab to and from O'Hare from Madison (which is about 110% likely) I guess I'll be in town.

Sign my ass up as long as its in the morning/early afternoon.

Just an FYI for future reference...

CIR
Its 70$ per person (Normally 80$) we need 8 people or more.

First race is 15 laps each person

then the top 10 (hope we have more then 10)
Race for 30 Laps for the winner

meanwhile MPGP $45 for 3 10lap sessions. $10 per session ther after, or $35 if 10ppl.

and they don't require a annoying nasty suit. clean helmets (althou yourown is always best)

No dought MPGP is the way to go. we can race x2 for the same money, just as fun, awesome track, great staff.

just sayin. ive gone to CIR a few times and its a great place but MPGP is top notch as well.

I'm just providing you guys with some extra information. Chiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiill

BTW:
45 laps @ CIR - $70
45 laps @ MPGP - $60

Obviously, more laps -> better deal at MPGP

if we get over 10 ppl then each of us gets $10 off the price. so we would be paying $35 for the license and 3 sessions instead of or $45 for the same thing
